Our Suicidal Ruling Class
Obama could announce a big jobs bill, knowing full well that Congressional Republicans would kill it. It would probably increase his reelection prospects. It would kill the Occupy movement. But don't worry. He won't. He can't.
In 2012, Politics Will Be in the Streets
We who are ready to emancipate humankind, we who are challenging the monstrous hegemony of a corporate state with bottomless pockets and an endless capacity for violence can't afford to have millions of intelligent, otherwise like-minded allies distracted, sucked into the vortex of electoral BS. We need everyone—including the Obamabots.

7-7-7: The Battle Cry
Forget Herman Cain's 9-9-9. The battle cry for every American ought to be 7-7-7. 7-7-7: for the $7.7 trillion the Bush and Obama Administrations secretly funneled to the banksters.

The Perils of OWS' Cut-and-Paste Revolution, Part I
The Occupy movement has grown nicely. But, just as Mao found it necessary to adapt industrial-proletarian-based Marxism to China's agrarian economy with "Marxism with Chinese characteristics," activists are about to face the negative consequences of trying to replicate Tahrir Square in the United States. The U.S. isn't Egypt. It isn't even European. Americans need Tahrir Square with American characteristics.
